Blogs, Wikis, Guides, Reviews ... What Next?

Ok, eBay-ers, now's your chance to blog yourself crazy writing about those vintage Mickey Mouse wristwatches you've been collecting for 17 years. EBay just launched a new free service it calls Ebay blogs, allowing anyone to create and publish a blog on the site.

Who would want to do that?

Sellers, that's who. They can use blogs to tout their listings and share their expertise on just about anything they want.

The company even rolled out a new public "eBay wiki'' this week. Wiki is a special flavor of software allowing different people to jointly edit the same document or collection of Web pages; eBay has created a community wiki it hopes will serve as an education center for its marketplace.
